steam runes / zmi

[wab]

I've seen couple of times in those forums already players posting about steam runes comparing them to ZMI altar method.

 

 

 

are these really match the xp per hour of the ZMI? or it's just for making more money while getting good amount of xp?

That was most likely me posting that. Anyways.

 

 

 

Yes, it does match ZMI. In fact, it is the fastest runecrafting xp achievable until the mid-80s, and which case ZMI takes over. This is purely for xp, since you actually LOSE quite a bit of money from this.

 

 

 

So if you have the money and you got 82 magic, steam runes are much better than ZMI until the mid-80s.

 

 

 

EDIT: Xp/hour is around 45k if you have all 4 pouches and craft efficiently.

They might be, but i find crafting steam runes to be a bit of a nuisance. Having to have the runes, to make them steam ones, the ability to cast the sell, the necklace that helps you imbue. These are seem to make crafting them more difficult, and costly.

 

 

 

Now i find ZMI to be faster, and maybe even easier to do them steam runes. But thats my opinion. If you want give both a try and see which you would rather do.

hmm thanks, but may I ask how about how much more xp you gain for this? and about how much money you sacrifice for it? (I know price changes and so rc lvl, so no need accurate answer, just "~")

About 250k if you count every cost and gain.

 

 

 

45k xp/hour, compare that to the ~30k-35k you're getting at ZMI.
